There has been no attempt in the previous tabulation topresent the symbolism in what is called the three worlds-that of Divinity, of the Macrocosm and the Microcosm. Alarge volume would be required for developments of thiskind. I have taken the cards on the high plane of their moredirect significance to man, who-in material life-is on thequest of eternal things.

The compiler of the Manual Of Cartomancy has treated themunder three headings: the World of Human Prudence, whichdoes not differ from divination on its more serious side;the World of Conformity, being the life of religiousdevotion; and the World of Attainment, which is that of "thesoul's progress towards the term of its research." He givesalso a triple process of consultation, according to thesedivisions, to which the reader is referred.

I have no such process to offer, as I think that more may begained by individual reflection on each of the Trumps Major.I have also not adopted the prevailing attribution of thecards of the Hebrew alphabet-firstly, because it would serveno purpose in an elementary handbook; secondly, becausenearly every attribution is wrong. Finally, I have notattempted to rectify the position of the cards in theirrelation to one another; the Zero therefore appears afterNo. 20, but I have taken care not to number the World orUniverse otherwise than as 21. Wherever it ought to be put,the Zero is an unnumbered card.

In conclusion as to this part, I will give these furtherindications regarding the Fool, which is the most speakingof all the symbols. He signifies the journey outward, thestate of the first emanation, the graces and passivity ofthe spirit. His wallet is inscribed with dim signs, to showthat many sub-conscious memories are stored up in the soul.
